                 range of an attack

THROW
NAME
    throw - throw a item (weapon or object) at a target

SYNOPSIS
    throw <item> [<target>]

DESCRIPTION
    The THROW command is used in combination with the 'throwing'
    proficiency, which is a prime skill of rogues. This command can
    be used to throw explosives, flash bombs, smoke bombs, special
    throwing knives, throwing axes, potions, herbal mixtures, and
    other items at a target.

    Thrown explosives, depending on the skill and luck of the thrower,
    have a chance of prematurely exploding and reversing their effects.

ETHEREAL FORM
NAME
    ethereal form - renders the target invisible

SYNOPSIS
    cast 'ethereal form'

DESCRIPTION
    This powerful spell transposes all the matter in a target's body
    with an equal amount of matter from the ethereal plane. As a
    result they become completely invisible, and cannot be detected by
    any method. However, the spell is incomprehensible to mere
    mortals, and will only occur at random due to a surge in magical
    energy from a botched casting. While the effect only lasts for a
    short time, it is sometimes an inconvenience since it prevents
    the victim from interacting with shopkeepers.
	


NEXUS
NAME
    nexus - opens a magical gateway to another destination

SYNOPSIS
    cast nexus 

DESCRIPTION
    This very powerful transportation spell creates a magical portal
    between two locations within the same zone. The gate's will last a
    specific amount of time, depending upon the level of the caster. A
    nexus cannot be opened in a PK room, or any room that is protected
    by a special enchantment.
